‘Iran violated truce’: US launches ‘powerful strikes’ after attacks on tankers in Hormuz

 United States forces launched strikes against Iranian targets early Wednesday. These actions followed attacks on three merchant ships in waters off Oman. Iran stated it would take necessary measures to safeguard its national security. The United States had also revoked a license authorizing Iranian oil sales. This revocation occurred hours after the tankers were struck by projectiles. United States forces launched strikes against Iranian targets early Wednesday.
